DILLON A GOOD MARKET.

and Learns Something About
the Condition of Trade.

One day this week a reporter OF the
TRIBUNE happened to drop in at ka"'.
mans, and was greatly surprised 70 find all
the available space Of the large store room
filled with new goods, and asked: "What
are you going to do with all OF those new
goods'' :,
Mr.. X. replied: 1--WE expect to sell all
these goods and great many more. we
are doing considerable business and need
lots Of goods When We started here last
Spring we had no idea that we could DO so
well, and bought small stock to commence
with, By this time We have learned that
Dillon is good market, and we will be
prepared to meet all the trade demands.
Our trade has been inct easing every month
and have every reason to believe that we
will do very extensive fall business. The
only thing that is going to trouble us is the
scarcity Of room. The store room is not
large enough to hold the large stock We are
putting in. We have been trying to get
the rear part Of the building, but Butte
parties have it occupied with the printing
plant on which the dead Examiner was
printed"
Reporter-"Would it not be better for
you to have your store further up the
street,"
Mr. Kaufman-"I do not think that
makes r,uch difference. 1t is true our
store is a little out Of the way, but we make
it an object for people to come here. In
fact it would pay them to trade with US It
we we're half mile further away" The
reporter left, impressed with the idea that
Mr.. K. knew more about the dry goods and
clothing business than he did.

1t had no apparent effect. The two-mile trip
to the whirlpool occupied less than five min
utes. The boat was repeatedly submerged,
but did not turn over. When near the Whirl-
pool it drifted close to the American shore,
and Percy, thinking he was in the quiet
water on the further side of the Whirlpool,
stuck out his head, but closed the aperture
quickly, just escaping tremendous
wave. The boat passed straight
across the Whirlpool, and on the
other side Percy crawled from the compart-
ment took his oars and rowed leisurely
around to the foot of the inclined railway on
the Canadian side, where he landed, his voy-
age having lasted IS minutes. He gave about
the same account of the adventure as was
given by Graham, Of barrel fame, and Ken.
dali, the Boston policeman, who swan into
the whirlpool last summer. He thought he
struck rocks in the passage, but the boat
shows no marks. Percy contemplates an
other voyage through the Lower Rapids to
/ Lewiston, and thinks he has an invention in
his compartment boat which will be OF prae'
teal use.

An Improved Telephone.
WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE OF THE PULsIoN
CoMPANY's PATENT.

At Milford. by invitation of w. A.
HAYWARD, manager of the Pulsion Tele-
phone Company, the Associated Press agent
and other Boston Newspaper men inspected
their private wire the other afternoon. The
transmitter contains most sensitive vibrator,
fully covered by patents, and uses no electrity.
Two transmitters were placed in the attics of
two different buildings ard connected by 1900
feet of bare copper wire. Another was run
to an apple orchard, wound around tree and
continued back to the house. The party
stood in the orchard and Mr.. Prince went
to one of the attics. Conversation was car
ried on by simply standing near and talking
toward the limb of the tree that the wire was
attached to. The lowest whisper and the
ticking of watch were distinctly heard by
placing one end of broom handle or stick
against the tree and the other end to the ear.
A hat was held against the wire and the As
ISOLATED Pres. agent walked 60 feet by actual
measurement from the hat yet distinctly
heard all the conversation. The playing of
an harmonica, and singing was heard dis
lance of rs feet from the hat. The party
then went to the attic of the house where one
transmitter was stationed, while Mr.. Prince
remained at the other end, nearly half mile
away. The lowest conversation was heard
in any part of the house, also whispering,
singing, etc. The party then went out of the
house down atairs, and stood in the yard,
three feet from the stairs, aud heard Mr..
Prince sing and talk. Mr.. Prince then went
down stairs in the house where his transmit
ter was located and talked in an entry away
from the transmitter and wire, and could be
plainly heard by the parties at the other end.
Milford is thoroughly excited over the new
invention.

Through the Whirlpool.
YOU'VE MAN MAKES THE PERILoUs TRIP
INA Boar.

c. A. Percy is a young wagonmsker, of
suspension bridge, New Buffalo, n ", who
has been working for several months on a
boat. He was formerly a sailor and knew
how to build staunch craft. He made it of
hickory, II feet long and feet l04 inches
wide. 1t had 65 oak ribs, and an iron plate
weighing 800 pounds was fastened to the bot.
tom. In each end ofthe bostwas an air cha mber
six feet long. The boat complete weighed
900 pounds, and was covered with white can
vas. Saturday, with infinite difficulty, Percy
transported his boat to the old Maid Of the
Mist landing above the csntilever bridge. At
3 80 O'Clock in he afternoon he put his coat aud
wslstcoat in valise aud slowed it away in
one of the compartments. Then he sat in
the middle part OF the boat, which had no
deck, rowed out into the Niagara just above
the csntilever, unshipped his oars
snd fastened them to the boat
and then crawled into one of the air.tight
compartments. Many people watched his
white craft from the bridges and banks. but
the feat had not been advertised and many
visitors to the Fails knew nothing of il. The
boat shot down toward the Whirlpool. Think
,ag that there wss ar undercur-ent which ran
stronger than the surface current. Percy had
attached 80 pound weight to l0-foot line,
which he threw overheard to act as a drag.

The Boston Record proposed to Hon.
Patrick A. Collins, one of Massachusetts
Congressman of the democratic persuasion,
the following questions:
"Were not the manufacturing industries of
Ireland crippled bv Engsnd's determination
to break down English protective TARIFF
care not Ireland's natural advantages for
manufacturing equal to those of any other
country and ought not the Irish parliament
to be allowed to levy such
duties as would enable 1relsnd's
industries to be again established
in the varied and profitable form in which
they existed century sgo?"
Mr.. Collins has Just returned from a
visit to Ireland and has made very care
full investigations into her condition; he
therefore possesses considerable informa
ton on the subject and to these questions
he replied frankly that such condition
of things ought and could exist again, and
that such duties ought to be levied if they
would promote the welfare of Ireland. The
Record commenting upon the replies says:
All we ask of Mr.. Collins is to vote in
congress in behalf of American industries
as he knows his Irish friends would vote in
Ireland in behalf of Irish industries, and
then The Record will be satisfied, and the
lsbpring men who send MIR. Collins to con-
gress will be satisfied thar ne is working in
their Interests against the scheme to throw
upon our markets the English made products.

A Serpent In a Sewer.
PECULIAR ADVENTURE IN PARIs-DIscovERY
OF THE CAUSE OF STRANGE SOUND.

Some sewer men met with a strange ad-
venture while at work one night recently in
one of the labyrinths of subterranean Paris.
AS they were busily engaged in cleaning out
that part of the metropolitan cioaca which is
under the Boulevard de la Vilette, they sud-
denly heard loud and prolonged sound of
kissing, which some of them took to be the
cries of q person in distress, who had, per-
haps, fallen into the drain at one of the open
points. Redonnet. the foreman of the gang,
thought, however, that the strange noise was
caused by evil-doers, who were probably
hiding in the sewers from the police; so
he took up his shovel and marched boldly
towards the spot whence the sounds proceeded.
After having proceeded considerable dis
lance, he saw by the dim light of the sewer
lamps an enormous boa constructor coled
around one of the water ducts with its head
protruding towards him. Redonnet imme-
niately stunned the reptile with a vigorous
blow from his shovel, aud, his workmen
having come up, the whole party set to work
until they battered the life out of the ILL
fated and imprudent boa. The remains of the
reptile we're then carefully collected end
then borne in triumph to the surface of the
earth and then to the nearest police station,
where, it appears, the boa was wanted" as
it had III 4naged to escape from the m anagerie

The Health Of the Democratic
Party.

1t is most remarkable that upon the eve
almost of another presidential campaign
there should exist such lack of harmony
in the democratic party. For some years
the division upon the question of the tariff
has been made conspicuous, but the pres
emf dissensions arise from different causes,
which, for the most part, have found ex-
istence since the election OF Mr.. Cleveland
to office. The divisions of the party &C.
cur in the very States where they should
be least expected, and where harmony in
the party is most demanded. Conspicu-
Gus among themri is New York, where the
Hill and Cleveland factions are warning
and rejecting any and all proposals for
peace and harmony. Then there is Mary
land, in which State there is bolt from
the democratic party to the republican
party. of no small dimensions, caused
principally by the persistency OF the
President in countenancing the fraudulent
methods employed in the State elections,
and in keeping in federal offices the per-
petrators of those frauds. Kentucky, the
great stronghold of the party, has re-
duced the democratic majority OF $4,000
to less than 10000, which is very
good evidence of trouble in the camp. In
Texas there has been a split upon another
issue but it's split all the same, and de-
creases the democratic majority of l4O, 900
to about 10000. Indiana is the scene Of
difficulties which tend to disrupt the party.
Pennsylvania is not happy home for
democrats there's trouble there and will
be 80 long as honest Sam Randall labors
tor the interests of the country. Ohio does
not present a very serene democratic
countenance This list can be easily
continued so soon as other states are called
upon to engage in political matters. But
this exhibition of the democratic party is
sufficient to afford the conclusion that there
are evidences OF bilious political dyspepsia
in the party that has not yet ceased to
glory in its lately acquired power, which if
not promptly attended to will retire it in
state of 'innocuous desuetude" to that
position which former occupancy has
rendered 80 familiar.

The democratic party, "the great friend
of the laboring man." has shown by its
recent We element denunciations of the labor
conventions in New York State, just how
sincere its professed friendship is. The
cause for this outburst of denunciation is
very apparent the party will lose heavily
in votes by the separate and distinct move
ments of the labor parties in that state,
But the laboring man long has waited for
the accomplishment of many and great
reforms at the hands OF the democratic
party, which would benefit him, and his
continual disappointment has caused him
to look in another direction; and ii he was
never before made certain of the deceit
fuluess of the democratic party, he is now
made doubly sure that for many years he

1t is confidently predicted that the

length that the markets will be affected
The difficulty is rendered still more serious
by the fact that it is impossible to hire
other men to take the places of the strikers

been limited to the friends of the en-

That the majority of the leaders OF the
prohbitory party has other purposes in
view than the PRONUNCIATION of temperance
is becoming more apparent every day.
The leaders of this party in Western Mass
achusetts are playing shrewd game.
They are circulating pledges for sigma
lures, which bind the signers to vote the
prohibitory ticket, providing certain
number of votes is secured. Men who are
30 careless OF their liberty as to sign one
of the papers, even though they may be
presented at religious meetings and gather
ings, are guilty of selling their votes, and
to what purpose they will find out later.
